Hygiene


from the ABC set Poems and the Like

Soap is good.
No one can deny that.
But
Do we perhaps
Clean ourselves a little too much?
If we perhaps
Stopped
Cleaning quite so much, what
Would happen?

I suspect
That we could live with more
Dirt
Than we allow.
The only potential problem
With this kind of
Plan
Is that we'd probably
Start to smell.
